it appears as though house speaker john boehner, as we said before, is waiting for the senate to move on some time of legislation. so it appears that the congressional action now moves over to the senate. this meeting started according to senior administration official with president obama reiterating a proposal that he had put on the table on friday. last friday, calling to keep tax rates where they are for income amount of less than $250,000 a year and to extend long term unemployment insurance benefits. that at least as itself would probably not be something that could pass the house. so negotiations would have to continue to something in the middle of what republicans and democrats are asking for, if there is any hope of averting the fiscal cliff. shibani? shibani: thanks very much, rich. we're also learning house speaker bain are is not in fact returning to the capitol. leaving the ball in the senate's court. if we do get any sort of statement out of any senators that were involved we'll of course bring that to you. david: well the president is always talking about math and it is
